You don’t hate working. 
You hate feeling like you’ve built a successful career that no longer fits who you are or the life you want.

You’ve spent years being dependable, ambitious, and good at what you do. But lately you started wondering, “is this really it?“ 

You’re exhausted by back-to-back meetings, office, politics, endless restructures, and the feeling that your experience matters less every year.

You don’t necessarily want to retire or even quit.
You just want more control over your time, your income, and your future.

But it feels too heavy to even figure out where to start looking for something different. 

Then you find this page 

I’m figuring out life outside of corporate and I’d love for you to come along and follow me.

I have honest conversations about building income outside of a traditional job, translating your corporate skills into new opportunities, and, and creating a life with more free freedom, more energy, and more options. by @authenticallyannmarie

I don’t want more of my corporate career...but I sure as hell am not done.

And I think that’s the part of leaving corporate nobody really prepares you for.

I know what I DON’T want.

I don’t want another giant job.
I don’t want someone else owning my calendar.
I don’t want back-to-back meetings.
I don’t want Sunday anxiety.
I don’t want to spend my life waiting for the next vacation.

But I also don’t want to stop making money. 💰️ 
I don’t want to stop doing something that matters.
I don’t want to spend the next 20 years letting myself get old because I’m “retired.”
And I definitely don’t want freedom from corporate just to build myself another life I need a vacation from.

So THAT’S what I’m figuring out now.

How do I build a life after corporate that gives me:

Money.
Purpose.
Health.
Freedom.

Follow along to see what I figure out. by @authenticallyannmarie

Things I’m rethinking lately:

How much sleep I actually need.

What “healthy” even means for me now.

Whether the workouts I’ve always done are still the workouts my body needs.

Why I’m still trying to eat the way I did when I was 35.

What I’m putting on my skin every single day.

What’s actually in the supplements I’m taking—and where they came from.

Why being exhausted became something I was supposed to just push through.

And maybe the biggest one:

Why I keep expecting the same things I’ve always done to work for a body and a life that have changed.

I don’t think midlife is about trying harder at the old stuff.

I think it might be about figuring out what works now.

If you’re over 40 and trying to make money outside corporate, you probably don’t need another business idea.

You need a filter.

Because “Can I make money doing this?” isn’t the same as:

“Do I actually want to build my life around this?”

Figure out how you want to work, get paid, and live—then choose the business.

There’s a strange moment that happens when you realize the career you worked so hard to build… isn’t actually the life you want anymore.

Not because you’re ungrateful.
Not because you couldn’t keep climbing.
Not because you suddenly lost your ambition.

You just started wanting different things.

More control over your time.
More space in your life.
More freedom to decide what your days actually look like.

And maybe success doesn’t need to mean another promotion, another title, or another decade building someone else’s vision.

Maybe this season is about asking a completely different question:

What would I build if the life I wanted came first?

That question changed a lot for me.

And if you’re somewhere in that messy middle too, tell me — what do you want more of in this next chapter?

Everyone complains about the four-day week after a Monday holiday.

Because somehow you’re still expected to get five days of work done.

Just in four.

But I think there’s another reason it feels so brutal.

Monday showed you what your life could look like.

Coffee without rushing.

A walk in the middle of the morning.

Lunch without checking your calendar.

A whole day that belonged to you.

Then Tuesday comes.

And suddenly you’re trying to cram your entire life around work again.

Maybe that’s why the short week feels so long.

You got a glimpse of a life you actually want. by @authenticallyannmarie

Find the opportunity.
Review the brief.
Quote the project.
Negotiate the rate.
Wait while they “run it by the team.”
Get approved.
Sign the contract.
Create. Revise. Deliver.

Get paid.

And then…

go find the next one.

That’s the part that got me.

I didn’t leave corporate just to create a more fun version of constantly applying for work.

And I definitely didn’t want to build a business that still depended on someone else saying:

“Yes, we choose you.”

I like UGC. I like creating.

But I wanted something alongside it that felt more stable—something built around customers who reorder products they already use, where the relationship can continue beyond one project.

That’s the model I ended up adding.

Not instead of UGC.

Beyond it.

Because I don’t want to stop creating brand deals.

I just don’t want to start from zero when one ends. by @authenticallyannmarie

UGC passed some of these tests for me. 
Not all of them.
That’s why I started looking beyond the brand deal. 
Which of these pass your UGC test?
